Places would change up and down in tone and attitude since the days of Usenet, BBSes, and FidoNet. It’s not the platform, it’s the people. How the world is in RL affects how people talk online, and the world changes over time.

The simpler answer may be that your feed has changed some since you started and you’re pulling in discussions that have a different vibe than when you started. Just as you can grow your feed by browsing around, you can cull certain places that tend to be darker by blocking people or instances.

Murderer. But he’s President, so oh well…

Reagan was a product of the newly established Southern Strategy, which has turned out to be very successful in its goals.

Game of Thrones showed they ignored hundreds of much better fanfic plotlines than what the last seasons resulted in.

I don’t see this as a win as I’m pretty sure they wanted less attention and questioning of their activities. It’s easier for them to blame the press for walking than to put up restrictions that make it look like they’re hiding things.

I have eight different bosses.

Clearly was a house spider.

Cassian Andor: Well, we’ll find a place they haven’t ruined yet. Maarva Andor: I’m already there. That place is in my head. They can build as many barracks as they like, they’ll never find me.

Set up a sequel and apparently used characters that everyone wanted to see in this movie, right?

I’ve learned that the most important part of a story is the character and what happens to them. This may be a good example not only of ignoring that, but also not using characters already established as interesting and with potential growth. Maybe there’s a back story there and they couldn’t get the actors, so they ran with something different?

Is this some “WW II didn’t happen” conspiracy?

I doubt it, damage has been done beyond just costs of things. Bridges have been partially burned. Reputations thrown in the trash.

I haven’t seen it yet, but have heard the plot wasn’t good either. So while he didn’t help, many films have shown even having great actors can’t rescue a bad movie. He’s just the rotting cherry on top of the melted sundae.

If serious, whichever one works best for you. Lots of info out there to help steer you to a good match. There are some that will have a harder time than others thanks to Microsoft domination all these years.

If not serious. Arch, of course.

The old cropped graph with no labeled axes trick. Works every time.

Didn’t expect any disciple. I’m surprised we haven’t had a full escalation yet, as many potential accidents there must have been so far. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t pointing a gun at someone a last step before actually using it? As in, you should try every other tactic before getting that far, and don’t use the fear of the gun as a device for compliance? Maybe I’m just naive.

So stick with my Linux and don’t boot into Windows again. Got it.

Lots of these exploits can be very specific cases so aren’t going to threaten the average user. However the point is, Windows 10 is now a huge target and there are lots who would love to take advantage of a freshly open gate.

As a disturbing psycho. Probably his best acting was in the prequel short for that movie. The ending, he nailed that look into the camera. shivers

I thought Afterlife was solid, Actors were good, plot was believable, cameos were great. The reboot just tried too hard to be funny where it wasn’t, and felt more like those SNL skits in years where it didn’t click. I’s a great example of why reboots should be a rare thing driven by a working plot and not done just because someone thinks it’s a good idea or for a cash grab on a franchise.

It’s always seemed to be the opposite. People excited for the film, and then they see he’s got a part and they say “oh no…” To be fair, I think he did well in Bladerunner:2049, but he was just playing himself, I think.

NASA is different because its money is Congressionally controlled, so not only does that expect perfection in an area that will have mistakes, but has a small window to act in before political interest wanes, and has little flexibility as things are learned on the way. The only advantage of a national space program is deep pockets. Even the small percent that NASA gets is a lot more than most commercial organizations can swing. Imagine if they had a few percent of what the military gets and a bit of latitude to find ways for us to expand out.
